I have a few acquaintances that have developed quite a funk. I’m afraid to ask if they think they don’t reek or if they have reasons that are more important to them.
I know there’s research that supports bathing much less than once per day but this is different. Obviously none in months or years. Lemmers that don’t ever shower or bathe, what’s your reasoning? Thanks for your insight!


After a while, usually the body flora adapts to this and only needs rinsing with water from time to time. It smells like musk and dirt and grime, but it’s not that etching, sharp smell one gets when they regularly shower and then stop. It’s kind of like a wet dog smell.
There’s a few experiments on this. You can train your body to not need soap. But you’ll smell displeasing to anyone who is not used to the smell of people not using soap.
It depends on the person apparently bc one of my friends has been like this for years, still smells real bad.
Did you tell them? What did they say?
Can you describe the smell? If it’s cheesy they might have a yeast infection, for example.
